Oracle® Fusion Accounting Hub (FAH) is an accounting integration and
reporting platform that includes the following products: Subledger Accounting,
Ledger, and Financial Reporting Center. FAH offers a flexible approach to
system adoption, allowing customers to implement Fusion Financials in an
evolutionary manner. As an accounting integration platform, FAH standardizes
the accounting from multiple third party transactional systems to consistently
enforce accounting policies and meet multiple reporting requirements in an
automated and controlled fashion. As a reporting platform, FAH offers E-
Business Suite and PeopleSoft customers exceptional reporting and analytics
capabilities with minimal disruption to their current financial processes.
Oracle Fusion Accounting Hub Delivers Value with Existing Investments
Coexistence is the notion of having Oracle Applications exist with existing legacy
applications or with Oracle’s next generation Fusion Applications. Oracle Fusion Applications
is designed to work alongside both non-Oracle and Oracle systems without forcing customers
to perform a full-scale upgrade. A key component of this coexistence strategy is Oracle Fusion
Accounting Hub (FAH). FAH is both an accounting integration platform and a reporting
platform, which can be used for either - or both - of these solutions.
Accounting Integration Platform Delivers Consistent Accounting
As an accounting integration platform, FAH integrates with non-Oracle transactional
systems to create accounting entries in Oracle general ledgers (e.g., Fusion, E-Business Suite,
and PeopleSoft General Ledgers) or other non-Oracle general ledger systems. The highly
configurable and centralized rules engine transforms transaction information from third party
systems to create accurate, detailed, and auditable accounting entries to meet statutory,
corporate, regulatory, and management reporting needs.

For customers that have high volumes of transactions from diverse industry applications, such
as billing systems for telecommunications, core banking platforms, or claims systems for
insurance, FAH can receive raw transaction information plus reference information and apply
rules to create detailed accounting entries to meet virtually any accounting requirement.
FAH includes a rules repository to centrally define and maintain accounting rules, a rules
transformation engine to create, validate and store the accounting journals, and a detailed
accounting repository that is used to reconcile to source systems.
User Configurable Rules Offer Maximum Flexibility
FAH offers maximum flexibility in generating accounting entries by allowing users to
configure rules based on any attribute of a transaction. For example, a deferred revenue
account can be broken out by different lines of business based on the nature of the revenue.
No matter how many variations a company may have, users have complete flexibility in
building every accounting entry.
Below is an example of defining rules to build the subledger journal entry.
Figure 2: User Defined Journal Entry Rule to Build Journal Lines
Business users can create accounting rules once and deploy them many times across different
external and legacy systems. Changes in accounting regulations or corporate structures are
quickly accommodated with effective dating of rules. An audit trail of the changes is
preserved allowing a comparison between old and new versions of the rules.
Rapidly Integrate New Systems
Many organizations need to efficiently integrate new industry-specific systems or recently
acquired companies into their existing environment. FAH implementations can be done
gradually, reducing the implementation risk. Both journal pass-through solutions as well as
raw transaction-based accounting solutions can be implemented. Customers can move from a
pass-through solution to passing raw transaction data to create the necessary accounting. New
systems can be added and new products can be launched while the system is in use.
Store Additional Information beyond the Chart of Accounts
Users can store balances based on business dimensions outside their chart of accounts using
supporting references. In other words, supporting references extend the chart of accounts
without cluttering the general ledger with unnecessary detail. For example, users can store
balances based on geographies, channel, industry, investment type, fund manager or product
category without including these key business dimensions in the chart of accounts. These
balances are stored in the accounting repository, readily available for reporting and analytics.

Enhance Internal Controls and Auditability
The centralized architecture of Oracle Fusion Accounting Hub enforces internal controls and
successful audit and compliance reviews. Auditors and compliance officers can use the rules
and accounting repositories as a basis for their engagements.
The common accounting engine includes a robust collection of validations and balance and
control routines. These validations are fully documented for complete transparency, a key
requirement for Section 404 Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
Audit Trail from General Ledger Balances to Business Events
Users can drill from their existing general ledger balances to the specific journal lines in the
accounting repository that comprise that balance. Embedded bi-directional flows allow users
to drill from journal lines either to the supporting business events and the accounting details.
Unique Reporting Platform Delivers Information When Needed
As a reporting platform, Oracle E-Business Suite and PeopleSoft customers can leverage
Fusion Accounting Hub’s exceptional reporting and analytics platform without disrupting
their current financial processes, such as their credit to cash or procure to pay processes. This
allows customers to leverage FAH’s reporting ledger as their ledger of record to perform
sophisticated reporting and analysis against real-time accounting information, with optional
drilldown to the source transaction details.
Figure 3: FAH’s Reporting and Analytics Platform
Oracle E-Business Suite and PeopleSoft customers can significantly improve financial
reporting and information access with FAH’s unique reporting platform that is embedded with
Oracle Essbase, the market leading online analytical processing (OLAP) server. This allows
large quantities of data to be quickly accessible and analyzed from different perspectives in a
highly interactive way for intuitive and immediate decision support. Customers can also
leverage the power of Hyperion Data Relationship Manager to synchronize changes to chart of
accounts and hierarchies between Fusion and PeopleSoft or E-Business Suite financial
systems. After programs transfer data from PeopleSoft and E-Business Suite ledgers to FAH’s
reporting ledger, all balances are automatically updated and pre-summarized at every possible
summarization level, making reports, queries, and analytics very fast.
All reports and queries work off the same up-to-the-minute, live data to ensure that all the
roles in the company are making decisions based on the most relevant and accurate
information.

complete with drilldowns to live transactions. The Oracle Fusion Financial Reporting Center
provides a single access point to securely distribute and access reports defined in Fusion
Accounting Hub, Fusion Financials, Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio or Hyperion
Workspace.
Figure 4. Oracle Fusion Financial Reporting Center
Board quality financial statements and departmental reports, such as departmental expenses,
can be viewed in the output of choice, such as HTML, PDF, and MS Office. CFOs can export
financial statements to MS Office products, such as PowerPoint, Excel or Word, and then
refresh results as needed from those desktop applications with a single click.

Self-Monitoring Accounts Alert Users to Exceptions
Instead of running reports and performing online queries to check balances, FAH can
proactively monitor account balances, and notify users of sudden spikes or drops based on
user-defined thresholds. Users can view both current and comparative balances as well as the
percentage change to assess whether the variance is favorable or unfavorable. To investigate
the root cause of the exception, users can quickly drill down through multiple levels of
hierarchies and summarized balances to the live transactions.
Combined Accounting and Reporting Platform
By choosing to employ the full capabilities of Oracle Fusion Accounting Hub as both an
accounting and reporting platform, users get the benefits of integration with non-Oracle
transactional systems to create accounting entries in Oracle ledgers, together with powerful
reporting and analytics against real-time accounting information, and optional drilldown to the
source transaction details.
